Jimmy Rollins

Minor League deal. Someone, anyone has to beat him out of the SS spot.

You mean the Sox signed him but not Ramirez?

Would have been huge!!! 5 years ago.

Doesn't stop the sox propaganda avenues from touting "Sox sign former national league MVP" everywhere they can print it.
3 sad aspects.
1) 2,000,000 price only reason this franchise sniffs.
2) 50 game suspension for domestic violence possible
3) he is probably good enough at his age to lead off for this sad club for stretches this season.


It's not going to happen now but at one time I thought Rollins was the most likely modern player to take a run at 53 game hit streak.

1) The Sox have zero control on the print/news media.
2) He's no where near capable of being a leadoff man for any team
3) If Tyler or Carlos can't beat him out at the SS position the team is in major trouble at SS

They must have some control, because the USA Today predicted them to win 90 games.

I thought that was you who wrote that up.

Does he come with a time machine?

 

[The Hawk]

It is a plus as far as I am concerned in that he is a veteran leader who is also a good guy in the club house. He also can bring a left handed bat to the table. I hope Salidin0 can win the job but Rollins is cheap insurance if he can't.

I'd rather see Sanchez at SS. Seems like a better glove than Saladino. Not interested in Rollins. Leader and liked in the clubhouse is coach speak BS. Wasn't that said about LaRoche and Dunn?!
